made possible by
The Vienna Business Agency has been providing targeted support to female founders and entrepreneurs in Vienna since 1999 in order to increase the proportion of women in business. With special funding programs and advisory services for women entrepreneurs and startups, as well as countless initiatives that aim to educate girls in science and research, the Vienna Business Agency is a pioneer in setting new standards for leadership.
The Vienna Business Agency is proud to support the Leadership: Redefined movement by the female factor. We understand that traditional leadership models no longer suffice in today's dynamic business landscape. What's more, Vienna, known for its location, talented labor pool, and high-quality workplaces, is the ideal location to foster a new generation of leaders who inspire positive change.
Vienna is teaching us that we are stronger together. It inspires us to co-create and collaborate, and to think big and beyond our borders. The city celebrates diversity and its leaders, providing all the support we need. I’m proud to call it home.
